Description

Nakiri Knife

The nakiri knife features a wide and straight blade, with a blunt tip. It is primarily used for cutting vegetables and thanks to its thin blade, it can cut even the most delicate vegetable. However, it is not suitable for harder materials, such as small fish or meat bones, or frozen foods as it may break.

Blade Material

The blade of the knife is made from high-carbon stainless steel. This particular stainless steel is called CROMOVA 18, and it is hard enough for the knives to maintain their sharpness for a long time, while still being relatively easy to sharpen.

The chromium content corresponds to 18% of the steel, which is why the steel has this specific name. The high chromium content contributes to the blade's resistance to stains.

The blade's hardness rating is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made of stainless steel which provides durability and resistance to corrosion, while it also features ridges for more stability even with wet hands. Its weight is evenly balanced with that of the blade for perfect equilibrium.

Cutting board

It is recommended that cuts be made on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable, as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.

For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, which you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a piece of paper. In contrast, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cut will be jagged.

It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade edge and to maintain sharpness.

Review this product
  • This review is about a variation of the product

    An excellent little hatchet, light for vegetables (and for tougher jobs too). You buy it once and you're set for life.
    As always, be careful when sharpening it later, because the 15 degrees per cutting side—maybe 16-17 if you want to make it more durable—are not an easy task

  • Very honest knife, I've had it since 2021 and it has saved me a lot... at first, it will take you a little time to get used to it in your hand, but after that, you can cut whatever you want... the weight doesn't bother me particularly (I prefer heavier ones). Personally, I have to say that although it is mainly a vegetable knife, it didn't struggle when I used it for meat or even for fish. Very good knife, I found it at the price of 100 euros
